"Alright, alright, you win! Happy now?"

"According to hospital policy and procedures, accident victims have to contact someone from their family. I didn't want to worry my parents, so I had no choice but to give them your number," Leda explained with a sigh, pulling out her phone. She grumbled in frustration, "If my phone hadn't gone kaput from the crash, I wouldn't be missing calls left and right."

That's when Roseanne realized why her calls went straight to voicemail the entire time.

"How are you feeling now? Any discomfort?" Roseanne asked, concern lacing her voice. Having passed the accident scene, a nasty pile-up, she was worried about Leda's well-being.

"Got all the checks done before you arrived. All good. Just need to wrap up some paperwork, and I can check out," Leda reassured her.

Roseanne breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great to hear."

Leda had only a backpack with her essentials.
